The diving was spectacular. I'm enjoying your blog updates. It's good to see the Atoll is doing reasonably well. I remember seeing plenty of white tip and grey reef sharks plus the moray eels. I remember seeing red coral which I'm told is sort of rare. I'm sure there'd be more of it left had the government not allowed JI folks to harvest it for decorative coral boxes which we were given customs documents allowing us to bring that stuff home. I never did. Some guys would kill some of the sharks they caught for their jaws. Wasn't into that either, but did enjoy fishing for them and throwing them back. We used to "camp out" on North Island.... those were good times. We were only allowed on the perimeter of North Island... to protect the birds. Wish I was there diving with you all! Take care.Carlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17886539544648268981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001408770692535631.post-54317190816829684922010-01-28T21:49:56.240-10:002010-01-28T21:49:56.240-10:00Awesome roomie-thanks for the info!
